Burlesque

Cher, Christina Aguilera. Dir. Steve Antin. Writer: Steve Antin.

Small-town girl arrives in LA, works in burlesque club run by former dancer.

Now there's a logline just brimming over with dramatic tension.

My prediction: Complete bilge with lots of reasonably well-produced dancy-singy numbers. An extended Aguilera video, basically.

Who goes to see this rubbish? Not I, that's for sure. I couldn't even get through the trailer.



[Old fogey alert - not that I'm old] Don't bother with this. Check out Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly's Broadway Melody number from Singin' in the Rain instead.
